About the name:
In the early 1860’s Trapper Sam made many trips to Denver bringing skins, small handmade wooden spades and lots of gold. Sam would speak frequently about the best place to trap while he carved his unique spades. When he didn’t show for several winters it was decided that he must have died and the location of his mine would never be known. One day in the 1890’s a miner prospecting near tree line saw an old cabin beside a mine shaft. The miner took a sample from the mine and grabbed one of the spades before returning to town. An old-timer saw the spade and recognized it as one of Trapper Sam’s, and the two spent many years searching for the mine that had once been stumbled upon.
